"For everyone who's a valedictorian, there's another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds — and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert."

That's what Rep. Steve King — a Republican congressman from Iowa — told Newsmax about Dreamers in an interview in July, and he doesn't think he needs to apologize for it. "I'm not going to apologize," he told the Iowa Daily Reporter THIS WEEK??. "What I've said is objectively true, and any time that Republicans have criticized me, it's not because of what I said, it's because they disagree with my agenda."

King has constantly voiced his opposition to granting undocumented immigrants citizenship under the Dream Act, arguing that many immigrant youth are involved in criminal activity and are not engaged enough in education. "There are people in America who are dying today because of our immigration policy," he said in an interview last summer.
